Join us for a webinar exploring the challenges, tradeoffs, and opportunities for action shaping marsh migration across Virginia’s coastal landscapes.

Speakers will share insights on the dynamic processes influencing marsh migration and the difficult decisions involved in responding to sea-level rise. The discussion will examine the potential loss of marsh ecosystems, the effectiveness of management strategies such as marsh elevation enhancement, and the tradeoffs associated with different approaches to conservation and adaptation. Participants will also learn about emerging opportunities to support resilient ecosystems and coastal communities.

Featured Speakers:

• Dr. Matt Kirwan—Professor of Coastal & Ocean Processes, Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS)
• Erin Reilly—Restoration and Conservation Coordinator, Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (CBNERR) in Virginia at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS)
